Independent shopping perspective
The 14 x 6.5-inch Timekeeper ICON pairs an 11-ply VLT Pure Purpleheart shell with a highly detailed clock inlay: 531 laser-cut exotic and dyed wood pieces set into an Exotic Santos rosewood background. Its design is as much a visual focal point as a working snare. Antique bronze hardware, True-Hoops, DW’s MAG throw-off, and a 3P butt plate give the player direct control over snare settings for studio recording and stage work.
